Don’t forget the plausible deniability of incest if the circumstances are juuuuuuuuuust right

Not only that, but did you know that teams have an 83% average winning percentage when playing the Rockies?! #stats

What you’re asking is for jellyfish to have a spine. It’s not anatomically possible.

That’s not fair. Everyone pretends for a second day during the Belmont if there is a horse going for the triple crown.

If Maher is Drake, what does that make Cheryl Hines and Vince Vaughn to Larry David’s Kendrick?

When you take into account the PTSD from all the shit the troops are about to endure, avoiding loud, crashing sounds is probably a good move.

My opinion is that they want to selectively choose who is “insured” and for how much.

This is a deranged point of view. Disobeying any court should be a fire alarm. Expecting the Supreme Court to rule against Trump in a meaningful way is showing a disregard for the reality of the past 8 years.

His office is going to be so confused tomorrow when they listen to ~30 voicemails questioning how he has the time to cohost a podcast about Collective Soul 🤣

Someone could have a water allergy or a plastic allergy… or a water and plastic allergy. It’s best just to stuff the water balloon in the seat of my pants, sit in a tub, and pray no one thinks I sharted myself.

Rebuilding infers they were built previously. If they’re moving MG, I think it’s because he requested it, not because they wanted to start anew.

A message of “We don’t so much as lift a pen without funding being released and the lawless actions taking place are rectified” is a hell of a lot more effective than saying he is going to pursue bipartisan solutions. I want to hear a message of accountability, not business as usual.

They are only powerless in that they cannot win any party line votes, and the budget doesn’t apply there.

I think that is where we differ. I see very little action with which to put that statement on par. He went on a book tour 2 weeks ago during recess, he advocated for bipartisan solutions 3 weeks ago (bsky.app/profile/ezra...), and he publicly stated Adams shouldn’t resign. He’s not up to the moment.

His tweet a week after the inauguration about God still being on the throne, meetings like this (bsky.app/profile/edbu...) from a few weeks ago, and much more in the past month is, in my opinion, showing a severe disconnect from the reality of what is happening and how to combat it.

I agree Jeffries is so far handling the budget resolution well so far, but all his actions are based on a rulebook that only one party thinks is applicable.

After watching Schumer, Jeffries, and others within the top tier of the D party this past month, I don’t see any evidence that counters the screenshot floating around on that Politico article. They have no appetite to act with conviction.

The other major part is that the Democrats have yet to behave as if that is the Republican goal

Musk’s new venture will be a consulting firm called Xploitte and it will be the only approved firm for government. Their only service will consist of asking Grok “How can {insert government agency} be gooder?” for $500/hr

Seconding the cap egg as my go to. For me, there aren’t too many fries because I douse my sandwich with hot sauce. The fries are the perfect vehicle to suck that up without making the rest of the sandwich soggy.

1. I didn’t perform a Nazi salute
2. I didn’t slight anyone because of their race, gender, or disability
3. I did slight everyone who is a fascist
4. I regularly spoke with the mother of our children
5. I paid taxes
In other words, I wasn’t Elon Musk

Font was also at the top of my list of 'shitty things associated with the White House'. It makes my eyes bleed uncontrollably. Then again, maybe it's the words they print.... no, definitely the font.

Mahomes because I want him to erase Brady from the record books 🥳

Burrow should be the one trading Super Bowl trips with Mahomes, but Cincinnati exists

My counter to this is that, as a Steelers fan, the Patriots are more annoying because of their shared playoff history. I enjoy watching Mahomes, and he's never presented a direct danger to the Steelers having a successful postseason. I can't wait for him to unseat Brady in the GOAT discussion.

It’s unfortunate you don’t want to root for Mahomes to usurp Brady as the GOAT as quickly as possible. While I am not a Chiefs fan, I am especially not a Brady fan.
